Review Visit: January 16th, 2016
Let's make the Magic happen! Oh... you played a counter spell
I will preface this with a warning that I am a bit bias towards The Zone. I partake in Magic pre-releases here. I have been coming here for a long time, actually. Back when I first got into Magic and his store was located in Creve Coeur, IL.
Moving on.
The Zone offers a wide variety of products. From comics, posters, figures/toys, trading cards (singles and sealed), Ultra Pro products, sleeves, and other odds/ends. I have played 3 Magic pre-releases there (so far) and the store owner, Scott, has been great at hosting it each time. He even helped me set up my DCI account right before the pre-release tournament was about to start.
You can pretty much throw any random question at Scott and he will have some knowledge about it and can help you out. Overall, a great store to visit if you need your Magic/comics/toys fix. Plus, Maurie's Candies is right across the street! :3

For me having a comic book store in walking distance, next to my favorite bar is a match made in heaven. The Zone is an asset to the community. There are so many comic, gaming, and collectible enthusiast in our area that The Zone is an oasis.
Wildly friendly, well informed, clean, open, well stocked, ever rotating products (There are several Zone locations in the area) and fair prices. I’m not much of a gamer but there is an entire section of the store dedicated to gaming. D&D perhaps? I’m not sure but what I do know is when I want to pick up a couple of Jack Kirby comics or D&D books for my step son or unique gift for the Holidays, Scott at the Zone is always there.
